    Dog steps on gun, shoots US hunter in buttocks

    SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A bird hunter was shot in the buttocks after his dog stepped on a shotgun laid across the bow of a boat.

    Sheriff's Deputy Kevin Potter says the 46-year-old Utah man was duck hunting with a friend when he climbed out of the boat to move decoys.

    Potter says the man left his 12-gauge shotgun in the boat and the dog stepped on it, causing it to fire. It wasn't clear whether the safety on the gun was on at the time.

    Potter says the man was hit from about 10 feet (three meters) away with 27 pellets of birdshot. He says the man wasn't seriously injured, in part because he was wearing waders. The man was treated at a nearby hospital.

      "It wasn't clear whether the safety on the gun was on." If it went off then it wasn't on!

      If the safety was on then the dog obviously commited two specific, premediated acts by taking the safety off and shooting the gun. The dog should be charged with attempted murder.

      Now i really wonder if dogs can reason or laugh. "Yup, Booger, I got 'im right in the p-toot!"

      That's what the hunter gets when he fed his dog that cheap crap dog food from Wal-Mart.

      Actually the safety was on & the gun unloaded before Rover decided on a little payback for his neutering

      So, it was the dog who did it! I guess we can rule out fowl play.
